Justice Thottathil B Radhakrishnan Specifically ordered that 'the Government must take efforts to settle the grievances of both factions peacefully and amicably. Court Orders and Decrees never leads to an end to the disputes of two factions'. So ruling Government must act as per their written statement to malankara sabha and prove their responsibility as an executive machinery of the State.

Dear AllThis Court Ruling has no effects at all!There is nothing new in the stay appeal as they are going to consider the case on November 2!The Kerala Govt will say there is still time until November 2nd, for the court to consider the appeal! by this time H.B.Thomas group will make new move or efforts to enter into Kolenchery Church by any ways!

Govt. gave the written statement that they will execute court order. Today Hon. High court asked both the factions to discuss the matter and reach a settlement. Hon. court never ordered to execute District court order. If the judjement was like that, then the order should be "..The pray is rejected and can go on with district court order". Hon. court directed to reach a settlement and not for implementing 1934 constitution. So the govt. will keep their word.They will go with discussions. I'm sure they will never implement 1934constitution without Hon. High court judgement. So till the final verdict instead of keeping the church closed, its better to open the church and continue with the turns.

Today's Hon. High Court direction is to reach a settlement between the two factions. Hon. court didn't gave the direction to execute Hon. Dist. court order. The case is still on. So orthodox faction cant ask for execution right now. Govt. will surely execute Hon. High Court order as they said before.Govt. will continue their efforts to reach a settlement. It doesnt mean that all of a sudden they will execute dist. court order.Hon. High Court didnt gave an interim order. It doesnt mean that the case is dismissed. If it was like that then the judgement will be "The pray is rejected and govt. can execute Dist. court verdict".

Hon. High court didnt mention about execution of dist. court order.

So till the final verdict its better to open the church for two factions than keeping it closed.

Now no one can blame Sri. Ummen Chandy for not executing dist. court order. The govt. will execute the directions given by Hon. High Court and will go on with mediation talks.

Mediation talks cant favour only one faction. Now orthodox faction need to change their decision as per court's direction.

"Let the Majority Decide", WHAT???Regarding the Kolenchery Church, I am amazed at the repeat statement by learned people 'let majority decide and go from there'. Sounds democratic and simple. Majority in Kashmir are Muslims and they want to join the country Pakistan. Punjab want to develop an independent Khalistan from India and seperate. Hindus are 80% of the Indian population. If they simply vote and say there should not be another religion. Can we digest that scenario. A parish church is a single entity in a wide spectrum 'the Church or sabha. As Kashmir is a state under the union India, they are bound by the constitution of India, an individual church is bound by the doctrine and theology of the union, the Sabha. If 51% of an established Orthodox Church decide to join the Pentecostal group, do they have any right on the mother church. No, on the other hand they are free to join any group anytime as the fundamental right of an Indian Citizen.C. Abraham

Dear All There are no need of mediation regarding Kolenchery Church!The case filed by Jacobites and the court verdict/ruling were not favouring them! So they should respect court verdict/decree as well as law and order! Majority issue or referendum do not arise here at all!H.B.ThomasI should stop his all protest immediately!

Dear All There are people with Market Civilization (or Street boys culture)making insensible and illogical comments here!Let them first of all learn how to respect God's commandments or words! MOSC are not protesting for disobey court orders or court decrees!Those protest against court orders or court decrees are not even democratic people or who stand foe justice!
